Donna's Tour De Force.......2007-01-17
NOTE: I also posted this review under the Bad Girls, Remastered Deluxe Edition.
It is rare when an album finds itself to claim both artistic aclaim, and commercial appeal. For Dona Summer, Bad Girls remains her singature, blockbuster album, that not only broke the chart barriers of it's time, but set the stage for the female superstars of the 80's (not that ANY of them have ever given Donna her just props).
The made for radio tracks of sides 1 & 4 took the world by storm, and Hot Stuff made belivers even from the Disco Sucks crowd. Bad Girls took some by surprise with it's very direct lyrics about the Ladies of The Night, but it became her first song to top both the Pop and R & B charts at the same time.
These 2 tracks together with side 2 opener, Dim All The Lights remain highlights of her stage shows to this day.
Side 2 & 3 focused on Donna as a singer-songwriter, and the easy Pop Songs of side 2 flowed into the beautiful ballads of side 3, There Will Always Be A You being the stunner, and side 3 closed out with her Janis Joplin tribute, My Baby Understands.
Side 4 finds us back at the Disco, with Our Love, Sunset People and Lucky. These tracks easily transport us back to 1979, yet they remain fresh and vibrant today.
Bad Girls remains the 'brass ring" in Donna's career, every artist should be as fortunate to have one.
Donna Summer: BAD GIRLS (1979).......2006-11-16
HOT STUFF
The first single from the album. This is a classic song, fusing both Rock and Disco. This is a great song, and it makes me really let loose on the dance floor when I hear it played at parties.
BAD GIRLS
The second single from the album. This track is, obviously and without a doubt, the album's title track. If you all didn't know it already, this song is about female prostitutes. This is a classic song.
LOVE WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU
Hate it.
WALK AWAY
The sixth & final single from the album. This is another great song.
DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
The third single from the album. Awesome tune. It's a song that I could listen to over and over again.
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF YOUR HEART
Awesome song.
ONE NIGHT IN A LIFETIME
Great song.
CAN'T GET TO SLEEP AT NIGHT
Another great song, and this is a song that I can relate to, for there are nights when I have some serious trouble getting to sleep.
ON MY HONOUR
Great song.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A YOU
Great song.
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
Great song. Just to give you all a reminder, especially all of you Cyndi Lauper fans, Cyndi Lauper did not cover this song.
MY BABY UNDERSTANDS
Great song.
OUR LOVE
The fourth single from the album. Great song.
LUCKY
Awesome. To clear up some information to all of you Britney Spears fans, Britney Spears did not cover this song.
SUNSET PEOPLE
The fifth single from the album. Awesome song.
This is one of Donna Summer's greatest albums. I could listen to this album all night. This is a great album, and all of you Donna Summer fans should already own a copy.
Single Most Important Black Female Singer In History.......2006-04-05
One of the best albums of all time, period.......2005-12-21
DISCO PAR EXCELLANCE.......2005-12-21
Bad Girls has a smorgasboard of classic songs and the thing that stands out for me is that Donna Summer didn't have to borrow or sample someone else's melody in order to achieve a hit.
This is the real thing laced with the distinct dignity of being totally created by the artists on the cover as opposed to the unethical standards of today that somehow have become acceptable.
"Hot Stuff" is fiery disco coated with a scintillating rock edge and "Bad Girls" struts with funky groove attitude.
Donna Summer also displays her talent for songwriting on the sensitive and sensual "Dim all the Lights" which starts out as a breezy ballad then explodes into a disco stompdown.
There's a little bit of country flavor on the tender ballad "On my Honour" and a taste of rock crunch in "My Baby understands".
I also love Donna's delicate spoken intro to the heart melting ballad "All through the night" because it feels like she's talking right to you.
Donna Summer had that kind of sincerity and intimacy in her performances that made you fall in love with her from the get go.
Donna Summer ends the album with three dance scorchers starting with the pulsating seductive declaration of "Our Love" which slides right into the enchanting hypnotic harmony of "Lucky" then slams into the finish line with the Harold Faltermeier co written adrenaline frenzied rush of "Sunset People".
Donna Summer is at her absolute peak here handling country,disco, and rock with the utmost ease and with a winning musical sophistication.
The production of Giorgio Moroder is fantastic and i especially love the slick way one song segue ways into another.
For example, the playful "Love will always find you" grooves along in its saxophone melody then suddenly stops and the cool mysterious "Walk Away" kicks right in and it just sounds so tight.
"Bad Girls" is an absolute wild enchanting sexy sensual tour de force that will sink under your skin and make your blood boil and get your feet grooving.
So click that button and give in to this Bad Girl because deep down you know you want it.
O.F.

Customer Reviews:
Country music for dancing to.......2007-05-16
The album contains a mix of up-tempo songs and ballads, all of which Kimber sings superbly. A bundle of energy, Kimber really shines on the up-tempo songs, most notably Good girls love bad boys, You don't know her and Real good thing. The most familiar song here is Ring of fire, an excellent cover of the Johnny Cash classic. A few knowledge fans may recognize If wishes were horses, a Gretchen Peters song that has also been recorded by favorite bluegrass singer, Claire Lynch.
Kimber Clayton is one of many fine country singers whose career was all too brief. You don't have to be a line dancer to enjoy this excellent, upbeat country album.

Fastway - 'Bad Bad Girls' (Capitol).......2006-02-16
Music wins out.......2006-02-01
Anyway the deal with this one is not the singing voice (which is fine) or the lyrics (who honestly listens to this kind of music and cares about them anyway), it is the guitars and drums which are awesome. Far and away the best pedal to the metal work in their career from that standpoint. I usually think it is the only album that lives up to their name. Still not sure why I have every Fastway album as I don't love them anywhere near that much. But this one and Trick or Treat are good from start to finish (although Trick or Treat has a slight lull in it) while the others are spotty.
Anyway, musically every song is catchy and fast (sometimes breath-takingly fast and you gotta give a prop to the lead singer for keeping up). I especially like She Won't Rock, but honestly if you get over the fact that it isn't the "great" Dave King singing and as a Fastway fan give it a chance then I can imagine if I asked just 25 people that did that which song is their favorite, all of the songs would get listed at least once. Thankfully there are no (and I really mean no) slow songs or ballads - which it's two slow songs was what threw On Target - well off target.
